Pay multiples (audited)

| | 2018-19 | 2017-18 | |--------------------------------------|---------|---------| | Band of highest paid Director’s remuneration (£) | 120-125 | 120-125 | | Median total remuneration (£) | 30,216 | 30,126 | | Ratio | 4.1 | 4.1 |

Reporting bodies are required to disclose the relationship between the remuneration of the highest-paid director in their organisation and the median remuneration of the organisation’s workforce.

The banded remuneration of the highest-paid Executive Director in The National Archives in the financial year 2018-19 was £120k-£125k (2017-18: £120k-£125k). This was 4.0 times the median remuneration of the workforce, which was £30,216. The small increase in the median from the previous year is due to a decrease in staff numbers combined with an increase in lower graded staff undertaking apprenticeships, offset by new posts in the digital directorate commanding higher salaries than the average.

In both 2018-19 and 2017-18, no employees received remuneration in excess of the highest-paid director. Remuneration ranged from £16,000-£125,000 (2017-18: £18,000-£125,000).

Total remuneration includes salary, non-consolidated performance-related pay and benefits-in-kind (travel and subsistence). It does not include severance payments, employer pension contributions and the cash equivalent transfer of pensions.
